If we regularly produced (i.e. edited, pre-recorded) new shows/videos on ComicPop Returns, would you rather have lists (e.g. Best comics of all time) or conversational shows (e.g. Let's Talk About, Comic Line, etc)?

Understanding that both isn't a valid answer: I'd rather have lists

Meta

I always like the discussion videos

Billy Retro Gamer

I would personally say conversational shows, because sometimes those could be about lists…. the long form discussions with many tangents are always entertaining.

I'd add a vote for conversation shows. I enjoy your back and forth.

The best conversation/interview episodes are some of the best content on the channel, but the quality has a much bigger swing, and it's very reliant on the guest. Josh or Tom could make a conversation about phonebooks fun, but that's not always true for all guests. In my (limited) experience creating episodes, list shows are much more work to do right (prep ahead, curating images, editing after the fact), but had *much* better retention. People generally would make it through the episode to see how much their opinion matches with the hosts and the numbered segments provide a good pacing. audience retention rarely dropped before the end. I have nothing to back this up, but in my mind, giving the listener more frequent, obvious opportunities to mentally agree with one of the hosts (e.g. listicle items) gives them more chances to become personally invested in the media they're consuming. TL;DR I see it as Lists shows Vs Interviews are the youtuber equivalent of Hollywood's "One for them, One for us".

It seems fairly unanimous. Your strongest shows are conversation and personality based. It's the reason why Back Issues works so well. The interplay between you and whoever else is on the couch is what separates you from everyone else. I could watch a million videos on what happens in Doomsday Clock, Zero Hour, etc. but I get so much more out of hearing Ben's stupid jokes, Ethan questioning why anything works in comics, and Tiffany's enormous knowledge of the arts. It doesn't just apply to comics. You have a way of having a good time with any guest. The on the spot riffing is very valuable.

ComicLine. Conversations deep feel real & authentic,and allows you guys to tackle every angle of a topic Lists do get clicks tho so I'd get it if you wanted to start making more of those

David Nelson

Id watch both, but if I'd have to choose, it'd be conversations.

Patrick Mocella

Lists from the perspective of Sal especially id love to see

Allyn Weimer

Conversation shows. A Comic Popcast

Rami Darwish

Conversational shows definitely

SecretbossSauce

Conversational shows. They're always interesting.

Galahad’s Comics

I love Comic Line. Deep dives into a specific Comic/Nerd culture topics. The “Should Batman Kill?” episode is awesome.

Jordan Schaefer

Conversational has always been your strongest suit. Lists are fun, but they are highly subjective.

BigBusta

I prefer conversational show.

Austin Burton

I'd love both, but I think a major appeal of comic pop is the conversational aspect, and so I'd definitely want that prioritized.
